Might as well put a turbo on there while you are at it.

for someone doing a 944S project, you would think you wouldn't post something like this, regarding a legitimate question.
yes you can swap them.....the S2 and 968 manifold are MUCH more efficient, too. if you had a choice, use a 968 manifold.

I thought about doing this, although the S2 and S will fit to the head no problem, the vacuum routing maybe be different, and I know for a fact that the throttle linkage is different. But it would make for a good project. If you need an S2 intake maifold I have one I can sell you to with the throttle body and TPS.

So I'm looking into different manifolds just in case this happens

those manifolds are engineered for an engine with .5 liters more displacement, also the 968's fuel map is programmed special for the charactaristics of that manifold - what exactly are you trying to accomplish with just a manifold swap?

First off thanks for the replies. I going to go ahead with the 968 manifold. I'm just going for a more efficient intake manifold than the stock S one. the engine's been rebuilt with head work, cams, exhaust, lindsay chip, and I think a 968 manifold would be a nice change for its more direct flow, and coupled with a cynlindrical high flowing airbox pulling cold air, seems like it'll provide some more power and much better throttle response. Thanks again

No, why did they do that on later cars?
Edit: If you're looking at the pictures above that is an S2 intake manifold, throttle body, and TPS. I think I see what you're looking at, and no it's not a coolant passage.
